Chief skinner.

The Chief of Police takes umbrage
at an article published in Saturdays
HERALD. This is not surprising, as
the Chief was not lightly handled in
that article. Chief Skinner is a man
for whom, as private citizen, the
HERALD has great of respect. He is
uaquestionably an honest man and
fairminded. liberal gentleman, but as
a Chief of Police he is failure. This
is no fault of his, as only one man out
of ten thousand is fit for the position
which Skinner labors faithfully but
intellectually to fill. 1t is not the in
tention to cast any reflection upon the
private character of the Chief, for that
is above reproach. There are two
things about him, however, that the
HERALD does not like, one is his I'M
fitness for the position he occupies
and the other is his intense Rep bli-
can partizanship. The force is COM
posed of forty-seven men, of whom
five are Democrats and forty-two Re-
publicans. This city happens to be
Democratic, as the election of Mayor
man showed and there should be
more even division. 1t is reported
that Chief Skinner ia making an effort
to have the few Democrats on the
force removed, but it is due to him to
say that he Indignantly denies this ru-
NOR.

THE MCQUEEN CASE.
Submitted. and to be Decided To-
Morrow Morning.

The concluding portion of the tes-
timony in the examination of A. w.
Mcqueen was offered Saturday before
u. s. Commissioner Van Dyke. Nc
Queen was placed on the stand and
testified that in San Diego he found
out that Murphy was duplicating him
in the robbery of the train, and he
said, " Murphy, if you take me for a
Jim Crow you are off. If | was i'm
plicated in that robbery l would not
be here" This conversation he had
near the postoffice with Murphy, and
he was talking to them as a Select
Knight. The witness also stated that
he had not said that he would make
no statement until he saw Burke.
Bert l.. Wellington testified that
Queens reputation was good in Tue
son; that he had never heard any one
say anything against him.
The case was submitted after
short argument by Mr.. Stephens, Nc
Queens attorney, and will be decided
on Monday morning. The general
opinion seems to be that there was
not the slightest foundation for the |
charge brought against Mcqueen, who
bears good reputation in Tucson,
where be h vol known. !

CATARRH

To those who arc afflicted with any OF the
different forms of Catarrh we would say,
there il no disease which presents a greater
diversity of symptoms, none m ore loa thsome
danger Gus than Nasal Catarrh,
especially II complicated, ,ss it almost always
lie, even from its nrst appearance, with an
affection Of the throat.
From the earliest symptoms (which are
generally attributed 20 a &C llu in the head'')
to the various ugly and distressing stages
through which the d'Stas passes, the pa
tient is hope!ul Of recovery, and rarely
gives it proper attention until cert ain
alarming sympto om- present themselves, de-
noting Nnmistsksbly the rapid advance OF
the malady to the lungs. Indeed. so various
are the symptoms that the presence of the
disease is not always known or even sus-
pected, until 1t has reached stage difficult
to arrest. The disease may or may not be at
tended by discharge fl ON the nostr1ls or
throat, but there IL usually present NOR
bid secretion and frequent di osition
especially in the morningl to ciear the
throat, and the effort to do SO is often,
though not always, attended by expectora-
ton; there is sensation of heaviness in
the frontal part OF the head. and the brain
sometimes suffers to an extent producing
headache, vertigo and confusion; it be-
comes difficult to think clearly ard to con.
ceptrate the mind: the memory becomes
impaired and the intellect enfeebled; de.
spondency of spirit and an excitable condi.
tion Of the nervous system. Such is the ef
feet of the disease, aud If to this train OF
symptoms (which not infrequently leads to
to insanity or idiocy) we add many of the
n ore loa'hsome physical effects, as cassles,
or rottonness Of the bones of the face and
hesd, most offensive smell to the breath,
and corrupt, morbid and poisonous secre-
tions, destruction or the serious injury OF
the sense of smell, hearing. sight and taste.
we have catalogue of horrors " hich would
lesd any person. to make early and proper
efforts to eradicate the disease from the
system. Every case of Catarrh is durable II
prOperly treated.

Acute Bronchitis is an ipfiam m ation OF
the mucous membrane of the. bronchial

the pulmonary diseases. 1t is dangerous
disease, as it prevents the oxygenation OF

Medical Inhalation Combined
with Constitutional Remedies.

Our treatment of the diseases of the respir-
atory passages consists in the employment
OF Medical Inhalation, for its direct effects
on the diseased organs; and, at the same
time, adopting such hygienic measures, and
administering such medicines by the stom-
ach as will most effectually purify the blood,
give tone to the nervous system and build
up and strengthen the general constitution.
In other words, employ combined local and
general treatment.
What Is medical inhalation? Before stat
ing briefly what medical inhalation is, we
propose, in as few words as possible, to state
clearly what 1t Is not.
Medical Inhalation is not a cure-all, nos
trum, or "a panacea. 1t is not a specific rem
edy for any disease. 1t is not a quaek medi-
cine, advertised to cure any and all the ills
that flesh is heir to, and intended to fill the
pockets of Its proprietors. 1t is not a tails
man whose possession insures health to its
possessor without the intervention of either
sense or judgment. Medical inhalation is
none of these things.
Medical Inhalation is simply and solely a
method OF taking medicines by inhaling or
breathing them into the lungs, instead OF
swallowing them into the stomach. BY in
halation the proper medicines. are applied
directly to the seat of the disease, in the
nose, throat or lungs; and tits clear to every
reasoning person how peculiarly applicable
inhalation is in the disorders of the orgnns
named. II you have scalded or burned the
surface of the body, or wounded any limb or
member, you 90 not SWALLOW lHc remedy IN
tended to heal the disorganized tissues On
the contrary you apply 1t directly to the seat
of the wound or injury. Why, then, when
suffering from catarrh of the nasal passages
or throat, or afflicted with liberation of the
lungs should you rely on medicines taken
into the stomach?
Our experience and success in treating
diseases of the nose, throat and lungs dem
onstrates, beyond all question, that the true
scientific treatment of these diseases is that
treatment which combines the local effect
OF medicalinhalatlon with the constitutional
effects of systemic remedies, given in the
usual way by the stomach One or both
methods must be adopted as the circumstan-
ces demand, and such remedies must be en-
ployed as the experience and Judgment of
the physician have proved to be proper in
each particular case.

The Highest Authority.

william Hammond Hall, the. State Engin
eer, who has had years of experience in land
and water in California, after full exami-
nation of the Rancho Ex-Mission OF San Fer
nando, reports to the owners of the prope ry,
the Porter Land and Water Company, as fol-
lows: "You have 10000 to 1000 acres,
and perhaps more, OF really first-rate valley
lands for cultivation, with soils not to be sur
passed for fertility and desirability by those
of any section; lying very favorably for irri-
CATION and in neighborhood whose climate
is well adapted to thei best class of agricul-
tural, horticultural and vineyard productions
usual in this country" Mr.. Hall has been
employed by the company to devise COM
plete plan for the irrigation of the tract with
the waters flowing from San Fernando, Syca-
more and Paeoima creeks, and from the i'm
mense cienegas located upon the ranch, and

CONSUMPTION.

From consumers, ITO waste away
usually applied to the advanced stage Of
lung disease.
The following are prominent symptoms
in the first stage, and wherever any of them
exist thorough examination should be
made. with view to arresting the disease
as shown to exist There is usually sense
of WEAKNESS upon little exercise, dispO.
ency, often from no apparent cause, pc
culiar sensitiveness to the effect OF cold,
and breatblessne's upon moving quickly
or descending hill or stairs, slight hack
ing cough, with or without expectoration,
excitsbility upon slight occasions. flying
pains through the chest or back. or under
the shoulder blades. The symptoms are
more noticeable toward or during the
night. slight fever in the afternoon, cold
feet or hands, or. in many cases, blue livid'
ity Of the lips and roots of the fnger-nails.
Constitutional or tubercular consumption
Is common form OF lung disease. The
progress is slow. but If left to itself is no
cough. At first these tubercles are exceed
ingly minute. the patient not at all suspect
ing their presence. Gradually they develop
into more active disease. and then follows
the train OF symptoms which leaves no
doubt as to its true character. Sometimes
splitting of blood or slight streaks in tho
mucus IL the first indication Of tubercuiar
deposits. or 1t may be chilly sensation in
the palms of the hands. or an afternoon
flush on the cheeks. The slow and gradual
inr0ads OF this form OF consumption leave
the stomach and appetite undisturbed for
considerable time Finally. however, hectic
fever and night sweats supervcne, preced-.
ed by diarrhOea. Then the loss of flesh and
strength becomes rapid. the chest contracts.
the features sharpen, the eye attains an un-
usual brilliancy and the patient begins to
realize that he is in the last stage Of con.
Armed constitutional consumption.
